A BLOODY RIOT.
Russian and Hungarian Miners
Engage i'm a Street Fight,

NEW YORK, Dec. 2S.-There was peace
in Hibernia until three months ago. Then
the Russians came and brought war.
Hibernia is a mining town of about
LOO souls at the foot of three hills in
Morris county. n. J. 1t is deSOlate
region. and except rocks and scrub oak
trees it has nothing to boast but mag
netic iron ore. Seven hundred men are
employed in the mines of the town.
Nearly One-third of them are Hungar-
ianS and Russians. Until September
these two classes of the toilers worked
side by side in harmony. Their wages
Russian miners who had lost their job
in Pennsylvania came to Hibernia and
began TO make trouble. The Hungar-
ians were forced to lodge by themselves.
The Russians went into huts by them
selves. This little international diff
Guilty broke out into battle Monday
afternoon. Everybody was celebrating
Christmas. There were six Hungarians
in one party. in John C.. Hass-
Inns saloon, at the northern
end of the village, and three
times during the morning they had been
assaulted by squad of twenty Rus
slams. Both armies were drunk.
Women hardly dared to go out on the
public road. AT 3:30 p. m. the Russians
moved in force upon the Hungarians IN
Hasslin's saloon. They had stones in
their pockets, and fiourished clubs,
shovels. bottles and knives. Constable
AMI Waer saw them march up to HaSs
Inns front door. He ran to the kitchen
entrance and warned the proprietor.
Hasslin is old and crippled, and he
called to his son for help. The Russians
had battered in the front door. and,
though the first intruders were fright
ened out, the men behind them forced
the door again. Again there was sally
by the Hungarians and the whole crowd
was soon out on the roadway. The Rus
slams
USED THEIR KNIVES
and stones and Shovels and clubs for all
they were worth. The HungariaBs
were not awed, but they seized some of
the weapons of their antagonists and
fought them down the road foot by foot.
Both sides yelled for reinforcements.
No Russians responded, but some Hum
garians came from the upper Hibernia
hill, and then slowly the Hungarians
drove their enemies down the village
road. After being driven slowly back
for quarter of, a mile,
the Russians scattered and ran.
The face of every man in the battle was
battered and bloody. One of. the Hum
garians, John Magyour, was found
stabbed in the back under the shoulder
blade. Another Hungarian, Majk
Parcely, had his left arm cut open from
the shoulder to the elbow. Majk Kiaj-
nakvaruS was reported as having a
fractured skull. Andrew MagyOur res
ceived, it is thought. his death wounds.
He was carried from the road suffering
from a stab in the back three inches
long and very deep. On the back of his
head, just above the ear, his scalp has

IN ENGLISH STYLE.
Abrupt Termination of a Military
Ball of" "En giish Style.'

Ball lOf"Engiish Style"
HALIFAX, Dec. 2S.-A state of semi
mutiny prevails among the soldiers of
the York and Lancaster regiments quar-
tered in the Wellington barracks. Bad
feeling has been brewing among certain
companies for some time. TwO-thirds
of the regiment and its officers decided
to celebrate Christmas in English style.
They handsomely decorated the bar
racks and issued invitatiOnS.fOr a ball.
During yesterday there was great deal
of drinking among the men. In fact,
most of them were drunk when orders
were issued that no more liquor should
be supplied to the men of Company &.
The men of that company had had
enough to be very ugly, and from that
moment trouble was assured. At 6
o'clock the festivities and all prepara-
tiOns for the ball was brought to sud-
den stop by the discovery that the bar
racks had been set on fire. The fire was
soon located in Company G's apart
ments and was quickly extinguished.
1t was clearly the work of an incendi-
ary. Three of the soldiers were in the
place at the time. They were put UNI
der guard, the whole battalion was
called out into the exercising grounds.
formed in companies, extra sentries and
guards were put on duty and orders
given that no man should leave the bar
racks that night; that all festivities
were at an end and the ball was inderi-
nitely postponed. The men were ter
ribly enraged at the severity of the Or
ders issued by Col. Luck, and that COM
manding officer, clad in full uniform,
was hoOted and jeered at by the fren-
zied soldiers. A mob of them is re-
ported to have surrounded and badly
iostled him. The same barracks were
burned twenty years ago.

THE HINsDALE RIOT.
Probable Cause of Wednesdays
Riot at That Place.

Special to the Globe
DULUTH, Minn., Dec. 2S.-Ihe follow
ing extract from letter written by a
Hinsdale quarryman to friends in this
city, was published in the Herald this
evening: 1.-The Duluth Daily News of the
21st says that matters are rushing at the
Hinsdale quarrieS, but l wish to state
that all men quit work Dec. IS and will
not again 90 to work until they get
their November pay. The company has
not given the men any satisfaction as
yet, and when they will pay is unknown
to all, even to those who say things are
rushing. A few men, these who could
do it, have already gone away, and there
would be more had they their
money. Christmas is neal and it is
decidedly uncomfortable for men tOsStay
here waiting for their hard-earned
money, with no immediate prospect of
getting it. Could the writer of the par
agraph in the News see the quarters
where the men now are and will proba-
bly, have to stay, he would feel entirely
different about rush." 1t is highly
probably, judging from this letter, that
a lack of money was the primary cause
of Yesterdays disturbance. The Min
neSota Granite company, which operates
these quarrieS, state that the reason of
the nOn-payment of the men is their in
ability to get from the Chicago Audito-
rum company any satisfactory eSti-
mates on the work done for that COM
pany on the contract for supplying
stone for the Auditorium building,
amounting to 100000.

Nashville and established the National
Review, as the Republican organ
of the state. In politics he remained
Democrat until 1884. He left the Demo

legislature from Davidson county last
fall. At the time of his death he was

can state executive committee and vice

BENSON, Mimi, Dec. 2S.-The officers

Parle, Big Stone and Swift counties.
These patents have been accumulating
for years, and are really nuisance in
the Office, as they occupy more room
than the entire records beside. Un-
doubtedly the owners of the land COW
cred by these patents would be pleased
to obtain them. but do not know the
proper place to apply. The officers sig
Nifty their willingness to furnish them
upon application, with any advice or
information required to obtain their
patents.

PALMER ON PROHIBITION.
His Views on the Much Abused
Temperance Question.

Temperance Question.
DETROIT Mich, Zee. 2S.-In an iIls
terview published here to-day SenatOg
Palmer expresses himself as follows ola
the temperance question: Il am Re-
publican first, last and all the time, and
for that very reason l am anxious that
the Republican party should keep pace
with public sentiment on the liquor
question, and for that very reason I
talked as did at the conference of the
Republicans at the Michigan club, and
still more emphatically to the New York
Tribune"
''It was current here that you pre-.
dicted that the Republican party would
declare for prohibition and make the
fight for that ISSUE"
''That the Republican party will de.
strOy the saloon is not prophecy, it is
merely an observation. Read the his
tory of that party and note the char
acter of its personnel. Its strength
lies in the homes, the school,
houses and the churches of the
land. The saloon is the enemy
of all three. The party's purpose is
the elevation and happiness of the citi-
zen; the saloon is in politics and is in
to stay until destroyed. That can be
seen with the eyes and heard with the
ears. 1t needs no proof. 1t arrogantly
confronts the Republican party-jnst
now somewhat weakened by the defec-
ton of free trade mugwumps and mis-
guided third party temperance men-l
and challenges it to combat. Is there
anything in the history of the Republiss!
can party to warrant doubt as to wha6']
answer it will return?'
"How and where do you expect the
opening skirmish to begin"'
"Unless you refer to local and statel
struggles, 1 should say, where thet
national battle against slavery was
sought to be first formed, in the District
of Columbia. If the drink problem can
be solved by law in that district it will
be accepted as full solution without
further trial. l think that a bill to
abolish the traffic in the district will be
urged upon congress this session. Ii
has been already introduced in the
senate by Mr.. Platt, and you make a
note that it was not introduced for BUNK
combe nor for fun"

LONDON, Dec. 2S,-Persistent rumOrs
of war and financial disaster circulated
in the stock exchanges this afternoon
produced a genuine scare among the
holders of foreign bonds. AS the rumOrs
were chiefly directed toward Russian
military movements, and the panic in
the st. Petersburg bourSe. Russian
bonds feel 2 per cent, though other Sc
curities sustained a considerable de-
cline in sympathy with the Russians.
The true cause of the excitement, how
ever, was said at later hour to be the
failure of large bank in st. Peters
burg, and the Russian embassy was be-
81 eyed by interested persons anxious to
learn the truth, but the attaches pro-
lating to the reports.
THE SWEEPING REDUCTION
of rents prescribed by the Irish land
commission has created a tremendous
sensation in England as well as in Ire
land. The average reduction of IA per
cent below the judicial rents ordered by
the commission is equivalent to a re-
duction of e36O,OO per annum, and an
annual capital value of from g3, 100000
to e5,0OO,OOO. The action of COmmis-
sioners Wrench and Lytton in signing
the order is severely criticised in many
quarters, while that of Judge O'Hagan
in appending a note of Inconvenience
is in the same circles highly COM
mended. The Dublin Express, the
Irish Tory organ, says the decision
of the commission has given tre-
mendous :, shock to interests in Irish
landed property, which must be felt for
years to come. The Irish Times says
the commission has abated rents to a
large extent without the slightest
thought of plan for so doing, or
check to any evil effect that may fol-
low. The Freeman's Journal Nation
alist, on the other hand, denOunces the
different grounds, saying the decision
dashes to.the ground the last faint hope
of alleviatiOn. The reductions pre-
scribed are altogether inadequate of
tiding over the difficulty of the farmers,
and from whatever point of view re-
garded, they are nothing else than
Iudicrous. From these comments,
which are fair examples of the general
criticisms, it will be seen that
the commission has succeeded IN pleas
ing no body, though it may
possibly be said in its behalf that little
Short Of absolute abatement of rents
would have satisfied the one side nor
would the other have felt that it had
secured it's full rights unless the COM
mission had greatly increased the rents
instead of reducing them. 1t is ru-
mored that strong effort is to be
made to
GUST LORD AYLESBURY
from his seat in the house of lords, be-
cause of the recent turf scandals in
which he figured so disgracefully.
Doubtless many of the noble lords
would be pleased to rid the upper house
of Aylesbury, but there are some, and not
a few, among them not whit better
than Ayelsbury, who would hesitate
to throw stones at him, because of the
danger to which they would expose
their own glass houses.
